Hello and welcome to our 2nd Year Anniversary!! We are so excited as we have each invited a Guest to join us for this challenge! Each guest has inspired us and we know they will inspire you today!!! We hope you will join us!

Here are some fabulous cards by our design team showing you how it works!

I chose to invite Kylie as my Guest Designer as I admire her ability to create cards in all styles from CAS to mixed media and every card is incredible. She is not only an amazing card designer but a wonderful friend, owner of a number of challenge blogs and now runs her own stamp company Happy Little Stampers.

I chose to invite my friend, Kelly Latevola because she's just awesome. And I saw the photo inspiration and knew that she would come up with something fabulous! She's funny, smart, and her skills at colouring are Just.The.Bomb. And she can do any style she sets her mind to - she's a superstar!

I invited my lovely stamping/blogging friend, Loll Thompson, to be a Fusion Guest Designer because I am in total awe of her stamping style. She is all about discovering and using new techniques on her creative card designs and yet her cards still remain beautifully and stunningly Clean and Simple!

I invited Sonja to be my Guest Designer as I am constantly amazed by her gorgeous cards and artwork. As well as being fantastic at coloring, Sonja also creates her own beautiful art journal pages. Her card-making style is clean and fresh and her cards are frequently seen in the gallery here at Fusion.

I invited my friend Michele as my Guest Designer because, firstly I really like her (she's funny and friendly and super sweet), and secondly because she inspires me constantly with her beautiful CAS cards and amazing creativity. Michele made two cards for this challenge and because I couldn't choose just one, I'm sharing both!

I couldn't resist inviting our gorgeous ex-teamie and my birthday twin, Kelly Griglione, to join us for our two year FUSION celebration! I have long been a fan of Kelly's inspiring creations, she always thinks outside the square for her card creations, and is a fabulous photographer and scrapbooker as well!

I chose Maureen as my guest designer as she is one my dearest blogging friends and we were lucky enough to meet in person a few years ago. I adore her style; she can layer and add a touch of bling to her cards and the end result is always amazing. A little about Moe: She's a St. Patrick's Day baby with a passion for card marking. Wife to Tony, Mom to Jake and Grandmoe to Ashlynn. A grade one teacher and recent Master's graduate from Gonzaga. An all around incredible person!

I chose to invite Annette to play along with us because she is a true card artist in every sense of the word. Her layouts and color schemes are always spot on in my opinion, and I find her work so inspiring!

I adore Lydia's amazing ability to create using a wide-range of design styles and products (and her great videos share her creative process). She always inspires me, makes me laugh, and shares great recipes too.

First Marybeth is a very special friend - we share the love of crafting and she has been a blessing in my life. I love her clean style with just enough embellishments to satisfy! Her designs are always classy and elegant. She has a beautiful eye for color and design and I always look forward to seeing her creations.

Do you know Tracey McNeely? If not you should! :) Tracey and I have come to know one another through crafting and blogging. I consider myself very lucky as she is a very sweet and dear person. We have a lot in common. Tracey makes the most amazing creations! I am in awe at her ability to make wonderful clean and simple cards. Case in point....

I met Sandy through our mutual love of stamping. Her designs are crisp and clean while staying detailed and ornate. I love the way she combines color and patterns and as you can see below, her coloring is amazing! I'm always excited to see her next creation!
